HUNTER GREY came off the shelf March 23 and set a strong pace going a two-turn mile. The dominant winner of that event came right back to repeat. In light with the bug. THE IRON FURNACE is expected to get a fast track today for the first time since his unveiling. He stretched out to this distance last time and chased the pace versus a heavy favorite. MARLINS WONDER debuted at seven furlongs, a difficult distance. He raced evenly in that event and now gets lasix for the first time. Live trainer, low percentage rider.

HEAVENLY GIRL gets the nod because she has made just one start since breaking her maiden. She set the pace going a mile last time and saved the place. Should sit the golden trip. JEALOUS dropped a grim photo last time in a battle of one for life horses. She was victimized racing against an inside/speed track April 2. Hard to love but somebody has to win. MONONOKE comes off the bench for Carlos Martin, who hits 20 percent with this move. She has only three loses since breaking her maiden. Has steady recent works.

VONA drops into a maiden claimer for the first time, for which Pat Reynolds is 2 for 7 over the last five years. He was three-wide pressing the pace last time on an inside biased track. BRENDAN G drops to the lowest level of his career. The gelding has made three of his last five starts for a tag and finished in the money twice. Gets in with a feathery 108 pounds. TONY D has a handful of starts good enough to win this. He cuts back from a two-turn inner track route where he middle-moved into the pace and hung. His trainer is winless on the turn back.

VERY CHERRY CANDY and YOUR MOVE went one-two around a sealed, muddy track March 31, with the latter winning while on the lead. The tables could turn today as Very Cherry Candy has the outside post and returns to a fast track, where she is two for two. Your Move figures to get pace competition here. AMULAY has won five of her last six starts. The loss came when second to the top choice by less than a length, and she was coming off the layoff that day. MANERO has shown nothing on dirt. So why did Michelle Nevin enter her here?

LADY LAVERY broke awkwardly and finished with interest in her March 15 unveiling. Trainer Kiaran McLaughlin hits only 8 percent with turf route firsters, 18 percent second-time out. AL’S GAL came off a four month layoff at Gulfstream. In that event she closed fast behind a slow pace in what has become a key race. Good inside post. CLOTURE has been at the maiden special weights level in her last three starts, and collected checks after closing ground. This is her second start off a layoff.

ED’S MAGIC is a first or last prospect. The Michelle Nevin trainee was last seen finishing a good third to next-out repeater Quick Money in an allowance event. You make the call. FLY BYE POMEROY came off a long layoff April 4 and tired after racing wide chasing a lively pace. Drops to a winning level for a high percentage conditioner. RISK MANAGEMENT was claimed January 16 out of his never won two lifetime victory. He moved up out of jail last time and stopped like a rock. Drops, cuts back in distance, and gets a new rider. MISTER WOOLMAN returns to dirt and goes back to Pat Quick.

PINBALL became a dirt terror last year for Bill Mott. He brought the horse off a ten month layoff at Gulfstream in February and promptly won twice on the grass. He might be just a special horse for this level. LUBASH went from a good horse to a better one when he moved to Christophe Clement and learned to rate. He has been off for more than five months but Clement is aces off the shelf. KHARAFA defeated Lubash several times last year, including when they met on this course and distance in November. Comes off a horror trip in a Gulfstream stake.

GROOMEDFORVICTORY was haltered in February by David Jacobson. His two starts since have been good enough to win this. He was beaten last time by a rival that had a golden trip. BERNARDO reeled off two wins in succession last fall and has been knocking on the door in four starts since. He drew a middle post where Jose Ortiz can would out a good, stalking trip. SINISTRA has gotten no help in his last two starts trying to close into a snooze-button pace. He was also wide last time on a day when the inside paths were the place to race.

SEND THE LIMO ran well in her dirt debut. Her pedigree for turf is about average, possibly a little better than that at this reduced level. Live connections. LLOYD HARBOR must draw in. If she does she can draw on a four month series of turf starts at Gulfstream, where she was undoubtedly facing better than these. HIDDENITE’S sire is off slow with turf runners, but her grand sire Chester House comes from a monstrous family. The filly is a half-sister to a grass winner. TIZALLHEART has turf form good enough to win this.
